"Everything calls peace, Schalom! Then it will occur - a new Middle East war suddenly flames up, big naval forces are facing hostility in the Mediterranean - the situation is strained. But the actual firing spark is set on fire in the Balkans: I see a "large one" falling, a bloody dagger lies beside him - then impact is on impact. ..."

The Seer of Waldviertel ~

"The 'total war' with American participation will take place first in Saudi Arabia when the Americans become involved in a great Middle East conflict; however they will do poorly. Russia will defeat America."

"In summer-like weather, the tidal waves in the Mediterranean Sea region, through use of nuclear weapons, will reach a very great height over the Adriatic originating from the North. The explosions are clearly noticeable here."

Erna Stieglitz (1894-1965) ~

"In summer, probably in the month of July if the oil regions are already in rather firm Russian hands, will occur the invasion by Russia upon the south and north flanks: against Turkey, Greece, Yugoslavia, and Scandinavia ... After the quick occupation of all military bases in Scandinavia, a second attack against Turkey follows. There and in Iran a great tank battle takes place. The Russian then strives to advance as quickly as possible through the Balkan Peninsula to the Adriatic Sea ..."

Technically the war in Syria is not yet over, although on the surface it appears to be largely focused on completing the task of wiping out ISIS entirely. Unfortunately the potential seeds of Syria War II or what could be designated as "The Great Middle East War" are already being planted.

The concept of a war that encompasses almost the entire Middle East and adjacent regions can easily be found scattered about in the quatrains of Nostradamus, but can also be found in conflicts covered in the prophetic Old Testament Books of Daniel, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel and as a necessary prelude to World War III in the works of several important European prophets of the 20th Century (shown above).

For Austrian prophets Alois Irlmaier and The Seer of Waldviertel, "the great war in the Middle East" breaks out suddenly and is ongoing at a time when horrific battles are fought in the Mediterranean Sea and Adriatic Sea using weapons so powerful that great tidal waves and floods result. The Seer specifically identifies Saudi Arabia as being a combatant in the future war and Arabia as one of the battlefields. Both the Middle East War and the naval battles prefigure a Russian-led invasion of Central Europe and Germany and a quickly resulting World War III. Irlmaier indicates rather murkily that the great war in the Middle East is not itself World War III yet is still a conflict which either 1) helps trigger it, 2) merges with it, or 3) is simply the last war before it happens. The Seer, on the other hand, includes the Middle East War as being part of the terrible "total war" ... a war that can only be World War III. Erna Stieglitz ironically supplies us with three of the other combatants in the war: Russia, Iran and Turkey. All three have been and remain deeply engaged in The Syrian conflict and Iran is also fighting a proxy war against Saudi Arabia in Yemen. As to what war the naval conflicts belong is not entirely clear: The Middle East, World War III, or another preliminary conflict, perhaps one involving Greece against Turkey over Cyprus or one involving Italy and the Balkans. Whatever the naval battles are being fought over, the Seer identifies one of the navies using nuclear weapons as belonging to "the North": Russia.

The Syrian Civil War thus far is the largest war in the Middle East fought in modern times, covering Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Lebanon, and at times briefly the Jordanian border and Israel. Armies from Iran and Saudi Arabia have fought there as well. However, the war itself never spread to Iran and Saudi Arabia nor did it spread to Kuwait, Egypt, Yemen, Qatar, Oman, or the UAE. Even so, a proxy conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Yemen has been ongoing during the Syrian war since 2015 and remains in progress. Two different wars technically. Nor did the war spread very deep into Turkey, mostly attacks were launched by air into towns in the southern portion. Likewise, some air attacks in northern Israel, and as noted air attacks and some military activity along and just inside the Jordanian border. Southern Iraq was also not a battleground. The spreading of the war into northern and part of central Iraq and Jordan's border was largely due to the involvement of ISIS in the conflict.

As I mentioned, we can already see the seeds of the next conflict, if there is a next conflict, already being planted. As long as Iranian troops remain active in the region, this alone could lead to a more devastating war.

Again, the dangers being sown:

1) Israel enters into a broader Syrian conflict because of continued air attacks on its northern soil or deeper by Iranian forces and other threats posed to it by Iran.

2) Israel enters into a broader Syrian conflict because of more intermittent rocket and missile attacks in the Golan and its north by Syria, regardless of whether they are accidental strikes or by design.

3) Israel is provoked into a positive and prolonged military engagement in Syria due to actions by Russia. A good example of a provocation that came close to this happening was the recent deployment by Moscow of S-300 anti-missile systems in Syria.

4) A proxy war in Yemen between Saudi Arabia and Iran leads to 1) an actual Saudi-Iranian War and 2) fighting between Saudi troops and Iranian forces moving into the territories of Iraq and Syria. As a result, the war in Syria merges with the Saudi-Iranian conflict, leading to a possible war in Turkey as well (Turko-Syrian-Iranian War).

Any broader Syrian conflict with Israel in the role as a military adversary would quickly become a MAJOR Arab-Israeli War. Not counting Israel's military adventures in against Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2006, Hamas in Gaza in 2008-09, or the two Palestinian intifadas, the last major Arab-Israeli War was the First Lebanon War (1982-85). It counts because Israel was not only fighting groups inside of Lebanon but also engaged in combat against Syrian forces as well as the PLO. If not for the Syrian involvement, Lebanon would not have counted as the fourth (and so far last) Arab-Israeli war. The last major Arab-Israeli War that involved Arab states with large militaries would then be the 1973 Yom Kippur War (aka "The October War"). In that confrontation, Israel faced the huge militaries of Egypt and Syria and some smaller expeditionary forces from countries such as Jordan, Iraq, Tunisia, Libya, and Saudi Arabia. This was the Third Arab-Israeli War and when I speak about a future Arab-Iraeli war I am talking about something as bad or much worse than 1973, although it could begin as a Lebanon style war fought inside of Syria.

Needless to say, a major Arab-Israeli war being fought in Syria at the same time as a Saudi-Iranian war and a Turko-Syrian-Iranian war also become inclusive to the region, and what would evolve would spread throughout the entire Middle East and far beyond.

The Role of Dreams

If one dream comes true it is possibly a coincidence. If two or more related dreams come true it is probably a glimpse of future events.

Beginning in 1994, I started having dreams that the United States would become embroiled in a conflict in Afghanistan that would stretch out for many, many years. I never saw the end of it.

Why? Who knows why? In 1994 and 1995 there was no reason imaginable under the sun why the US would go to war in Afghanistan.

Yet, on October 7, 2001, following the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, US forces were at war with Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The US remains at war in that country to this very day with no end in sight. Indeed, President Trump recently announced plans to mobilize additional American military forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Major battles involving US forces are intermittent, while operations continue on a daily basis. The last major battle involving US troops was in August 2018.

Were the dreams I had beginning in 1994 with Afghanistan being the first of a series of chronic US conflicts in and around the Middle East a coincidence?

Unlikely. Unlikely because the next series of dreams I had starting in 1995 was that the United States would go to war in Iraq and remain there even as war in Afghanistan continued.

As we well know, President George W. Bush ordered a US military invasion of Iraq on March 20, 2003. After the fall of Baghdad a war of occupation ensued until December 18, 2011. Although President Barack Obama withdrew US forces over the course of 2011, completing it by December, 20,000 troops remained in the country. By 2013, less than two years later, the US resumed flying surveillance aircraft in order to collect intelligence about insurgent Islamist fighters targeting the Iraqi government. On June 14, 2014, Obama ordered a large bulk of US forces to return to Iraq in response to offensives conducted by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Air strikes began in August. Ground forces were engaged in Anbar province in December. For the most part the war has been conducted by air or coordinated on the ground with the Kurds. One such ground battle by US-Kurdish forces occurred in October 2015 in Kirkuk. More raids and air strikes followed in 2016. In summer 2016 the US deployed additional troops to Iraq. By this time the US was part of an international coalition arrayed against ISIL. A major battle and air campaign came to Mosul in December 2016. In March 2017, a US-led coalition airstrike in Mosul killed more than 200 civilians. More troops were deployed to Iraq. American forces came under attack several times in 2017, ISIL using terrorist tactics. Although ISIL has steadily lost ground and is fighting for its very survival, operations continue. On October 5, 2018, US-led Coalition planes bombed an ISIL position in the village of Kushaf near the Tigris river.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have killed over 500,000 people thus far with both conflicts continuing.

The next chronic conflict to make its debut in my dreams, starting in 1995, was IRAN ... to begin and continue even while US wars continued to be waged in Afghanistan and Iraq.

This is where we have a problem, but then again not when one considers the fourth war dreamed about in the late 90's: Syria.

Syria was to follow Iran and it was to be a bigger and more deadly conflict than Afghanistan, Iraq, or Iran (all three ongoing at the time of the war in Syria). It would also bring in not only the US but also RUSSIA.

There is no question that war #4, Syria, with Russian involvement, has happened instead as war #3. The US became militarily involved in Syria in August 2014 and remains there to this day.

But what happened to Iran?? Is it possible that the order somehow got switched? Syria first, then Iran?

If so, Iran is the next big war to come and it will also last a long time. Or it represents the fly in the ointment: that prophecy is possible, but not without some margin of error. This could explain why there are so many quatrains penned by Nostradamus with three lines fulfilled but a fourth line never fulfilled or only partly fulfilled.

But the course of war with Iran was never entirely clear in my dreams. There were always a lot twists and turns on the part of Iran, incursions not involving the US, and close encounters at sea with the US before the first naval battles even began. Iranian involvement in the Syrian Civil War began in June 2013 ... one year before President Obama ordered US forces to return to Iraq to fight ISIL, and at a time when US aircraft began surveillance flights. The proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia has more than once threatened to pull in the US since 2015. A new war between Israel and Iran this year or in 2019 could also do the same.

The rhetoric of war with America has heated up from Iran worse than ever in the past during the last few months. In any event, the US is committed to remaining in Syria as long as Iranian troops are there.

U.S. participation in the Iran nuclear deal has now ended. President Donald Trump's administration has chosen to reapply sanctions to the Islamic Republic of Iran six months after announcing America's exit from the 2015 agreement. This is part of a broader strategic shift by Washington in which strong pressure is to be applied until Tehran makes concessions in twelve areas .

The pushback comes as the US tries to dissuade port operators from allowing Iranian tankers to dock. Deputy commander of the regular armed forces Rear-Admiral Mahmoud Mousavi said yesterday that the Iranian military is "prepared today as in the past" to protect against "any threats".

The United States has warned that Iran could create a new malign force akin to the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) and said Saudi Arabia was an ideal partner to help contain the revolutionary Shiite Muslim power in the Middle East.

2019 a dangerous base 7 year

Every seven years 1956 comes into remembrance for a possible repetition. A repetition of the autumn of 1956 in 2019 would likely be catastrophic. In October 1956, the Suez War (Second Arab-Israeli War) broke out. It was the only such war fought exclusively to Israel's south or, put another way, the only major Arab-Israeli war fought in the southern part of the Middle East. Egypt is not a belligerent at this time or likely to be soon. But the proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran continues unabated. Is it possible that within a year's time the proxy war will become a full-blown Saudi-Iranian war with American and Russian participation?

The influence of 1956 becomes even more dangerous when we reach late October and early November. While war raged over Suez, a new crisis emerged in Hungary: The Hungarian Revolution. Like Ukraine in 2014, the revolution brought in Russian forces to stop the country from plunging into a full-fledged civil war. However, in Ukraine, the revolution mobilized pro-Russian civilians to wage a war of independence in eastern Ukraine, particularly in the Donbas region. That war continues to this day, although at a low level.

Ukraine demonstrates what can happen in the region that was worse than what happened in Hungary 1956. The next time Hungary's influence comes around it could well trigger World War III as the prophet Alois Irlmaier warned it would so often. Three assassinations in fairly quick succession, and two limited conflicts triggered by revolutions, the second or third (not clear) revolution/conflict triggering a Russian invasion of central and western Europe. World War III.

If the three prophets above mentioned are correct, the Middle East War and Balkans War will not occur or reach peak velocity in the autumn but rather in the summer, Stieglitz specifically indicating July and August. The Kosovar war vector from 1998, however, suggests trouble may begin by late February 2019, although if that is true there is no reason not to suspect it could begin at any time soon.

Again, where they are discussed, read my remarks concerning an increasing number of projected events occurring as much as two years and two months late. I believe this indicates we are in a period of historical correction (or base 7 correction).

Thus, this new war could begin as late as the April-December 2021 window. Nevertheless, it will appear under the 2019 Predictions.

The following text also appears as part of an update regarding a prediction applied to actress Angelina Jolie. This material is important enough to be a separate article on this blog.

I believe we have reached a period of historical correction or, if you will, a correction in the base 7 phenomenon. Events may follow a pattern of every 7 years or at least multiple of 7 years fairly consistently, then some of them may begin to deviate by a few years over the course of a decade or more until a new period of sevens is achieved. The deviation is inconsistent and many events will often retain their "every seven years" capability pretty much forever, while others stretch out and start a new period. How many events deviate may vary from period to period; more in some, less than in others.

For example, the two Yugoslav (Balkans) wars of 1991, the ten-daySlovenian Independence War begun June 26, 1991 and the Croatian War of Independence (Serbo-Croat War) begun October 1, 1991, resumed seven years later (actually six years and eight months later to be precise) in late February 1998 in Kosovo. No repeats occurred in 2005, but another seven years later might well have seen a new Balkans war or else a Balkans-like situation in the Middle East by either February or June 2012.

A Balkans type series of protests and insurrections began with Arab Spring on December 18, 2010 (I predicted several years earlier that it would begin in Egypt in November 2010 for reasons other than the Balkans wars precedent ... I was only off by one month).

Still this was not yet a war.

Like 1991, the wars in the Middle East began as two: 1) The Libyan Civil War begun February 15, 2011 and ending on October 23, 2012 (A Libyan Crisis continues there to this day) and 2) The Syrian Civil War, often wrongly said to have begun with the civil uprisings of March 15, 2011. The Libyan war began the same way, with protests, but within few days there was fighting with military equipment on both sides. Thus the start of the protests and the start of the war were the same.

One can say the civil war began in earnest with either the Houla Massacre (May 25, 2012), Assad's formal declaration of war on insurgents (June 1, 2012) or the UN official proclamation that a full state of civil war in Syria was now in progress as of July 12, 2012.

Despite this, the UN later issued a public statement that in their view the civil war should be retroactively regarded as beginning with the protests of March 15, 2011. This remains falsely in history articles and history books to this day. Indeed, in June 2012, there was a huge chasm of disagreement in the UN and international community that Syria had yet reached the stage of a full-blown civil war. Even in July 2012 the king of Jordan thought, at worst, that Syria was still only at the brink of civil war. The fact is that the Assad regime did very little else than engage in self defense measures until May 2012. There is no question what has happened since then.

My projection for the beginning of civil war in Syria was not untilJuly 2013 ...based on the start of the third Yugoslav war, the longest one, the one in Bosnia and also on the start of the Spanish Civil War. Bosnia began in April 1992, Spain in July 1936. I chose Julybecause I felt Spain was the real beginning of World War II and that Syria would be the real beginning of World War III.

So, The Syrian Civil War began a full year sooner than I anticipated. But it did in fact occur twenty-one (21) years after the start of the first two Yugoslav wars in Slovenia and Croatia in 1991 and fourteen years after the beginning of the War in Kosovo. I had a choice between using 1991 or 1992 as the precedent, but chose 1992 rather than 1991 (for reasons given regarding Spain's role in WW2 in 1936).

I also believed the character of the war in Syria would be similar to that of Bosnia: that it would be a war that lingered for nearly four years. In that I was both right and wrong.

And here is where the idea of a base 7 correction or historical correction comes in with late fulfillments of events.

I think we can agree that the whole Yugoslav mess began in 1991 and likewise the Syrian/northern Middle East mess commenced in 2012. We can also agree, however, that Syria most resembles Bosnia.

Even so, Bosnia ran from April 1992 to December 1995: three years and eight months. Even the Serbo-Croat war ended in November 1995, lasting four years and seven months. However you work it, the Syrian war should have ended by either March 2016 or else by February 2017. Yet, here it is November 2018 and it is still ongoing. It has run for over six years and four months.

What could have been the end of the war in March 2016 occurred during a partial cease-fire when Syrian government forces (SGF) with support from Russia and Iran successfully captured Palmyra from ISIL. However, peace failed to be maintained due to the Aleppo Summer Campaign begun in June followed by SDF advances and Turkish military intervention in August.

What could have been the end of the war in February 2017 was the collapse of yet another cease-fire, theAl-Badia school massacreby Russian and US air strikes, and the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack by Syria which resulted in a punitive US air strike with Tomahawk missiles againstthe Syrian government's Shayrat Air Base (condemned by Russia). This was followed by more attacks by SGF and Turkey, intense fighting near Hama, and Turkish air strikes.

A partial cease-fire was again achieved in July 2017 and lasted until December with some sweeping-up operations of liberation military moves. However, in January 2018 tensions broke out again with more fighting near Hama, the shooting down of an Israeli F-16 fighter jet by Syria, a Turkish attack on Kurdish held positions, and yet another chemical attack by Syria in the city of Douma.On April 14, 2018, the United States, United Kingdom, and France launched missile strikes on multiple government targets in Syria as a response to the Syrian chemical attack. In July a new attack by SGF and Russian forces was led against provinces on Syria's border with Jordan. In September, Israel struck multiple Iranian targets in western Syria and a Russian plane was shot down accidentally by Syria. Russia blamed Israel for the shooting down of the plane. Russia has since been arming Syria with its own deadly S-300 air-defense missile systems with much international opposition. Two days ago it was reported that Israel warned Russia it may target its S-300 missiles systems and yesterday Iran threatened to open up a new war against the US in Syria and Iraq.

Between the end of the Bosnian conflict until the start of the Kosovo War there was a period of over two years of peace (in 1996 and 1997). There has been no peace in Syria, especially one lasting for two years. A new Kosovo in the Middle East should begin in Syria in February 2019, but the Syrian War has never even ended.

The war in Syria has stretched out two years and eight months longer than Bosnia and three years longer than Spain.

This indicates a base 7 period of correction, an historical correction, may well be in place. Instead of a new war (like Kosovo) there may only be further escalation of the existing war in Syria and the adjacent affected regions of Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, and Israel with continued involvement of Russia, Iran, the US, the Kurds, and ISIS and similar groups. It may spread to Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, UAE, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia.By March 2020 it may become a NATO war ... and if that happens, spread north into the Balkans and ignite World War III. It may well last until 21 years after the end of the fourth and last Yugoslav conflict in Macedonia in 2001. That war ended on August 13, 2001. Thus, war can easily continue and escalate in the Middle East until August 2022 by which time it may or may not end. If the period of correction continues, it could extend out three years or more beyond that date (2025 or 2026?).

Then again the war in Syria may finally, and absolutely, end very soon. But even if it does, it has extended far beyond the limits of the conflicts in Croatia and Bosnia in the 1990s or Spain in the 1930s.

Syria therefore is one of the signs we are in an historical or base 7 period of correction.

It may well be that the 2016 election of Donald Trump ushered in the base 7 correction and a new historical period.

Despite all this, for practical purposes I have noted singular repetitive events occurring no later than two years and two months beyond their projected dates. That will be our "statute of limitations" for the time being.

The 2017 Las Vegas shooting by gunman Stephen Paddock on October 1, 2017 is a good example. It was compared many times in the media to the University of Texas tower shooting by Charles Whitman on August 1, 1966. I had used the Whitman case as the precedent for a similar event happening again in August 2015 of a high altitude marksman shooting an even larger number of people on the ground than in Texas. I also said that the event would bring Charles Whitman's crime into remembrance.

But that event seemingly failed to happen ... until October 1, 2017. Total elapsed time after the August 2015 vector was exactly two years and two months. Note also that both events occurred on the 1st of the month.

There have been other cases similar to this in recent years, especially since 2012 and 2013.

It would appear then that 2 years and 2 months is perhaps the time of limitations beyond which an event cannot repeat unless it is repeating a different yet similar event from another timeline. But I will have to research this further. Usually though all is told within 18 months and often less. The Syrian War lasting as long as it has is the only example thus far of a three year delay with one possible reason being that the conflict may be the true beginning of World War 3.

What they don't realize is that another community is extremely dependent on their getting it right ... or not reporting any event in advance unless they are absolutely CERTAIN. OUR community.

I have been wondering why there has been so little news about "the great Red Nova of 2022" for well over a year. Now we know .. they have been sitting on a mistake ... a mistake they have just decided to correct publicly now. WONDERFUL! Self-correcting and late as hell.

For those of us in the prophecy interpretation business this event, now to be a non-event, was extremely important. It explained what appeared to be a lull in apocalyptic events and the potential for a world war until at least 2021 or 2022 or even 2023. It's appearance would have coincided with Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey beginning a super war in the Middle East as prophesied by Daniel in the Old Testament. Now all bets are off!! The worst things imaginable CAN happen as early as next month! Yes, World War III, beginning as a Cuban missile crisis type of situation (in this case maybe Syria and Israel or, more likely, in the South China Sea or over the two Koreas or North Korea and Japan) could end up not being resolved diplomatically as it was in 1962 and turn into a full-on nuclear war! Or the Middle East could experience a Kosovo-like war next year, one involving the entire region from the Mediterranean to the Indian peninsula, from Turkey to Yemen, leading to World War III in spring 2020. Yikes!

I was starting to enjoy a little vacation from pronouncing potential peril and doom, especially with other problems consuming my time, my life, and my attention. But now we, the human race, are in incredible danger ... possibly very soon.

It would have been nice to know this stellar spectacular was not going to happen a year ago.

In closing, why so many blunders by astronomers and NASA since the year 2000??? Back in the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, and 1990's they were so spot on about everything (except Halley's Comet lackluster performance in 1986). During the last 18 years space scientists have been consistently wrong about every stellar event imaginable for the exception of solar and lunar eclipses and the close opposition of Mars in 2003 and this year. Forget the rest!

Or is this news event a false report ... are we being lied to by a different community for other purposes????

Well, this sure is one parade that's getting rained out of existence. A spectacular astronomical event that had been predicted for 2022 now isn't going to happen after all. Early in 2017, scientists forecast the collision of two stars in the constellation Cygnus - something that would result in a rare and wonderful phenomenon visible to the naked eye.

It's time to face a hard truth. Good science is mostly about meticulously testing informed predictions. And, sadly, these predictions often fall flat. This is exactly what just happened with one of the most anticipated astronomical events of the upcoming decade: the visible merger and fiery explosion of a pair of nearby binary stars in 2022.

It's time to face a hard truth. Good science is mostly about meticulously testing informed predictions. And, sadly, these predictions often fall flat. Much to the chagrin of you, me, and professional astronomers from around the world, the heavily anticipated merger of KIC 9832227 in 2022 will not occur.

Just when it looks like things are under control, something new comes out of the blue, which is why my effort to begin doing this in late June has gotten moved back until now.

Stress is a strange thing: you can distract yourself from feeling stress by being artistically creative, which is what I have been doing elsewhere; but when it comes to writing extensively, especially on a topic such as this one, it is very difficult to become engaged on a regular basis. I hope that will cease to be a problem very soon.

I am in the process of moving my website from where it has been located since 2001, Yahoo! (now Aabaco), to this site at Weebly. Thus, this is no longer merely a blog ... it will be a website. There is already a 2018 Predictions link above under the header. I will be building like crazy in the weeks and months ahead, so stay tuned and keep an eye out for more links to new pages.

Why am I doing this?

For one thing Yahoo! (now Aabaco) no longer supports Internet Explorer 11, a browser which I have been using in its various updated forms since 1999. I can no longer access key control sections for that website, and even a Chrome browser is only partially successful. I have also found that since Abaaco took over that maintaining and building my website at their location is taking longer and harder to do! Uploading files takes forever! It got to the point that I grew sick at the thought of making updates. And I have been paying Abaaco over $35 a month to keep the site running 24/7, providing me with statistics as to how many viewers there are each day, and providing functions that are easily accessible to me. That is now $$ down the toilet every time they collect.

To add insult to injury, Aabaco removed my ability to know how many views my site is getting and all other statistics. Now they want an additional $50 a month if I want to know how many visitors I am getting. Well, they know where they can go!

So here I am starting all over again after almost twenty years. Hopefully this will end up being a better site and easier to navigate.

I may decide not to have a home page here at Weebly. Technically the blog itself is good enough to use as the home page. Although there may be some blog articles I feel no longer apply to the current global scene, most still do.

I will continue at the main site at Aabaco for a time (until everything I want moved is moved here), but don't expect the pages there to look all that great. The MS Frontpage Express pages look different in Chrome and other browsers than they do on Internet Explorer anyways ... and I can't use Internet Explorer anymore for the site. MS Frontpage never had a function that made it possible for its pages to look exactly the same in all browsers unfortunately. So what looks good in one looks out of whack in another. Out of whack too if, like me, you have magnified the size of text and images to conform with the wider screen PC monitors that came out ten years ago.

Here at Weebly all pages should look the same on all browsers. If they don't, there's not much I can do as I am using Weebly's software and not MS Frontpage.

Now, on to the business at hand.

The message following this paragraph is from my Prophetic Messenger Service FORUM (yes, I still have a forum and it is now active again with a few of the original members, although barely). It remains closed to new people wishing to be members for the time being. When I open it for new membership be quick getting a username and password because I believe I still have a cyberstalker hounding me who used to spam the forum mercilessly with multiple accounts to the point where I had to close it to new memberships. In one day I had almost a hundred pages of phony spam usernames, some already posted and pointing to porn sites. So, the the availability of the forum to those wanting to be members will be like turning a faucet on and off. If it's off, sorry, it means I got spammed badly. If it's on, sign in!

Red Nova: A Period of Grace?

"I believe we are now in a period of grace, despite the recent trouble from North Korea throughout 2017 and early 2018 (indeed the two Koreas may be pacified for a while now). I fear though that Syria will erupt again as long as Assad remains in power. He's the devil that has to go. I also think the proxy war in Yemen between Iran and Saudi Arabia will turn into an actual confrontation that will stretch north into Turkey and the Balkans. That's the configuration to watch out for ... but I don't think it will happen soon.

When? I believe the Red Nova of 2022 IS the first 'sign from the heavens' of prophecy. It is the Red Star in the East of Chinese end time prophecy (actually northeast). This is consistent with old school Nostradamus scholars who thought the great Arab world war would not begin until the 2020s. In Daniel this is the same war where Persia and Grecia will be engaged, leading to the creation of the first king of Europe, the Chyren, the notable horn in the forehead of the goat.

As for Russia, I suspect when the war in the Middle East moves north into Turkey and the Balkans, Moscow will at some point be forced (or wish) to mobilize in Hungary, Romania, and the former Yugoslavia. America may well be on Russia's side until this happens. No idea for a dating on that yet."

OK, with that said, I am not pinning any medals on any political leaders for bringing this period of grace about. The reasons this is happening range anywhere from a natural period of correction that occurs periodically during the evolution of historical cycles to an act of God. But to me the Boom Star is major evidence we have a little while left.

And let us not breath a sigh of relief too soon: this is the 56th (7 x 8) anniversary year of The Cuban Missile Crisis. Obviously if it happens again it will not be over Cuba, but a country like North Korea. Demi Lovato almost became our 2018 Marilyn Monroe tragedy and there is still time left for that to happen by someone else.

Mars, the harbinger of War, has been at its closest opposition to earth since late July. It is the second closest to earth it has been in 60,000 years, the closest being in 2003. What happened in 2003? The US invaded and occupied Iraq. Almost everything that has happened in the Middle East to this very day is linked to that war!

And now for Syrian Civil War (Part Two) and the base 7 system

Following the war in Bosnia and signed ceasefire agreement, militant groups continued to challenge the peace there in 1996 and 1997 and regrouped in and around Kosovo, the Presevo valley, and northern Macedonia. It was in Kosovo that a new war erupted in February 1998.

We need once again to learn from history. Those who waged war in Syria are hardly vanquished or pacified. Like Milosevic in Serbia following the Bosnian conflict, Assad retains power in Damascus. Like the KLA did in Kosovo, the IS (or ISIS) remains in remote areas in both Syria and Iraq with many members also blending in with the population. There are also IS members in Afghanistan, Africa, and the Philippines. Turkish forces have control of part of Syria, opening up the possibility that Turkey itself could become yet another battlefield in a renewed war. Although incidents did occur in Turkey during the Syrian Civil War, armed conflict itself failed to export itself there for any great length of time, taking on the characteristics instead of hit and miss terrorism. In a future conflict that may change with Turkish forces now in control of a portion of Syria. Warfare could rage throughout the entire country and threaten to move northwards. Iranian forces are embedded among the Syrian forces and this situation provokes Israel which has endured intermittent rocket attacks in its north by both Syria and Iran. Russia remains a major player in the region, something it avoided doing during the Balkans conflicts of 1991-2001. There are are other restive areas of Syria with more moderate rebel groups still in place ... moderate for now.

Indeed, another "Kosovo," this time in the Middle East, emerging from the ashes of the Bosnian-like Syrian civil war would be far more catastrophic and far-reaching.

August 10 As Syria's war enters what could be its last and most dangerous stretch, the Syrian government and its allies will have to contend for the first time with the presence of foreign troops in the quest to bring the rest of the country back under President Bashar al-Assad's control.

The Islamic State terror group may be far more resilient, stronger and dangerous than U.S. officials have been willing to let on, boasting a fighting force in Iraq and Syria that comes close to what it fielded at its peak. After four years of bombings, the elimination of key IS leaders, and other U.S.

Even after Milosevic was overthrown in 2000 and hauled before The Hague, yet one more war followed in Macedonia in 2001, fortunately limited to only a few months and ended thanks to the threat of NATO action. Thus, even if Assad likewise falls, war could still occur in the region. Such a war would not likely be diffused so easily as Macedonia's was.

Thus we have several key years to be wary of: 2019 (which may conform to 1998, the start of the Kosovo War), 2020 (which may conform to the 1999 NATO portion of the Kosovo War and the air war against key cities and targets in the former Yugoslavia), and finally 2022, which would conform to the 2001 War in Macedonia. If Assad falls the same way as Milosevic, he may be killed or captured in 2021.

It is possible that a 2019-2020 repeat of a Kosovo type war in Syria-Iraq, one spreading to Turkey, Iran, and possibly Israel, may be held off for two years, not occurring until the appearance of the 'boom star' or Red Nova. But that itself is not entirely certain in its dating: while many astromomers have projected a 2022 nova, others warn it could instead occur one year either side of 2022: in 2021 or 2023.

I find it more than merely inauspicious that the timing of the Red Nova is so close to what would be a base 7 repetition of either the Kosovo War or the Macedonia War in the Middle East. Part of our problem now lies with the base 7 phenomenon itself: several major events I predicted to occur in 2015 and 2016 happened instead two years later than they should have ... in 2017 and 2018. How many other events are going to be two years late? As it is I have witnessed for some time now that many events that do occur during the year projected often miss the month. The first instance of that happening was back in 1998, before I was even on the Internet. Then later a US invasion of Afghanistan projected by me to be fulfilled in December 2000 ... an event which I did not know what the reason would be for it to occur ... happened instead in October 2001, ten months later and in a different calendar year. As you can see, there have been some problems with base 7 from early on, although really ten months for such an unusual and at that time UNLIKELY prediction being off is not really all that much time.

Similarly, whoever wrote the script for The Man Who Saw Tomorrow (1981), projected a major and very destructive earthquake would rock the West Coast of the United States in May 1988. When it failed to happen, everyone laughed. As far as I know they were still laughing seventeen months later in October 1989 when a "big one" struck San Francisco .. the worst quake to hit that city since 1906. How brief those 17 months appear now so many years later! No one should have been laughing.

Expecting predictions to fall in place like the chapters of a book is folly ... it rarely ever happens that way! What is important is knowing the "ball park" period for certain events.

It is for this reason we should remain vigilant, up to two years after a projected target period. Even more rare, yet it happens from time to time, is the one or two year premature event. Perhaps too it would be wise to drop the necessity of providing a month as well as a year. Target years are good enough for virtually everyone else on the Internet involved in making predictions, so why not here as well? Still, I doubt I'll be able to resist not mentioning some potential target months within the text in some instances, but don't take them too much to heart.

It is a problem the wide-ranging world of prophecy has in store for us. That when focusing on one single issue or phenomenon, not one single prophecy but two, three, four, or many different prophecies by various different prophets may apply to that event.

Below we discussed the Red Nova, still known only as KIC 9832227, the binary stars in Cygnus that are supposed to collide and create a red supernova in 2022. It was noted that this sounds an awful lot like "The Warning" in the Marian prophecy at Garabandal. In a way that would be good, for it would buy the world another five years, plus the year to two years that follow The Warning before the dreaded Chastisement.

But what if Red Nova is not The Warning but instead ... the star Wormwood in the Book of Revelation? That may mean there is little to no time at all by virtue of the coming sixth seal worldwide judgment and the first four trumpets of the seventh seal to follow, Wormwood being the third.

Revelation 8:10-11 King James Version (KJV)10And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

Or, what if Red Nova is the star foretold of by Nostradamus that reaches its brightest peak magnitude for seven days and nights when a pope is forced to flee the Vatican during a military attack on Italy?

Nostradamus, Quatrain 2.41:

The great star for seven days will burn,The cloud will make two suns appear:The great mastiff will be all night howling,When the great pontiff changes his land.

Is it possible that that "great star" and Wormwood are the same? Or are they different?

So there you have it: three different views of the same phenomenon.

Of course there are some astronomers that say Red Nova will be no brighter than Polaris, the north star. That is not very bright. In the city, Polaris is very hard to find due to light pollution. If they are right, Red Nova will be a non-event.

And what of the Blue Star prophesied by the Hopi Indians that is to precede the Red Star? That too is a Warning event.

Thus, depending on how we interpret prophecies and how we look at this coming stellar event in 2022, we are either in a period of grace with a warning to come ... or we stand at the precipice of imminent apocalyptic destruction well before the nova even appears. And if KIC 9832227 is a non-event... it may just be carry on, business as usual.

As Saudi Arabia threatens Iran with retaliation after the Saudi military intercepted a Iranian missile launched by Yemen over its capital of Riyadh a week ago, we are once again brought before the Bible prophecy of Daniel. Daniel foretells of a great war that will be started by the King of Persia (Iran) ... a war that begins with an attack and an invasion of "Grecia."

Daniel 11:2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.

Sounds like war with Greece, doesn't it? Yet, the King James translators got the name "Grecia" from the original Old Testament word Yawan (also Yavan or Javan).What does Yawan mean? In English spelling Yawan appears as Yavan or Javan. From Bible Study Tools at https://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/javan/ we find out the following about Javan:

1. The fourth "son" of Japheth ( Genesis 10:2 ), whose descendants settled in Greece, i.e., Ionia, which bears the name of Javan in Hebrew. Alexander the Great is called the "king of Javan" (rendered "Grecia," Daniel 8:21 ; 10:20 ; comp 11:2 ; Zechariah 9:13 ). This word was universally used by the nations of the East as the generic name of the Greek race.

2. A town or district of Arabia Felix, from which the Syrians obtained iron, cassia, and calamus ( Ezekiel 27:19 ).

1. A son of Japheth. ( Genesis 10:2 Genesis 10:4 ) Javan was regarded as the representative of the Greek race. The name was probably introduced into Asia by the Phoenicians, to whom the Ionians were naturally better known than any other of the Hellenic races, on account of their commercial activity and the high prosperity of their towns on the western coast of Asia Minor.

2. A town in the southern part of Arabia (Yemen ), whither the Phoenicians traded. ( Ezekiel 27:19 )

Clearly the translators went for definition 1. Yet there is also a possibility that it may mean definition 2.

Right now, with Saudi Arabia at war with Yemen, and with Iran launching a missile at the Saudi kingdom's capital from Yemen, I would say definition 2 sounds more ominous, probable and likely than definiton 1. It sounds very much like an Iranian war with Javan will take the form of a war between Iran and Saudi Arabia similar to the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-88, but much worse. Indeed, war with Greece and Asia Minor (Turkey), the first Yavan/Javan definition, may also follow as foretold by Nostradamus ... but its origin may be a war with Yawan/Javan in Arabia felix.

Nostradamus, Quatrain 5.55:

In the country of Arabia Felix There will be born one powerful in the law of Mahomet:To vex Spain, to conquer Grenada,And more by sea against the Ligurian people.

Might war between Iran and Saudi Arabia begin in 2018, seven years after a Saudi-led intervention in Bahrain begun on March 14, 2011 prompted condemnation from Iran and Turkey that the move was an invasion? Or will it not occur until 2022, seven years after the start of the civil war in Yemen on March 19, 2015 and the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen on March 26, 2015, also the 42nd anniversary of the Iran-Iraq War begun in 1980? These are key dates and events in the Iran–Saudi Arabia Proxy Conflict which has been ongoing since 1979.

The Red Nova is expected to appear in 2022 as well. Then will that war spread to Turkey, Greece, Italy, and the Balkans? And will the spreading war of 2022 eventually lead to a Russian invasion of Eastern and Central Europe (the almost traditional European prophecy for World War III)?

There are no answers to any of these questions; neither a yes or a no. Instead we are left with a number of tantalizing scenarios for Red Nova and a major war involving Iran, but no way to say with any certainty which of these, if any, will take place ... or if one does, exactly when.

You can see why correct prophecy interpretation is next to impossible, even when using historical precedents as a means to date such events using a base 7 system. There are too many possibilities to choose from, each one equal in potential. And then there is always the "non-event" scenario ... which means the time is not at hand for any of these.

Still, prophecy (including visions, waking or dream state) and history are the only tools we have in determining what may lie ahead in the future.

UPDATE: Sufyani Attacks in Iran?

In the article below I cast doubt that the former ISIS caliphate and its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, could have served in the role of the prophesied Sufyani due to a number of prophecies not yet fulfilled. One of these was that ISIS had never led an attack against territory within the nation of Iran. That apparently did occur in 2017, but on a very small scale:

While the question of whether Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is alive or dead continues to resonate throughout the news media, CNN reports that reliable information gathered by Kurdish intelligence has confirmed its belief that there is a 99% likelihood that al-Baghdadi is alive and likely hiding out somewhere in Syria. Meantime Iraqi government sources state he was "severely injured" as a result of US airstrikes near Tal Afar and Sinjar. The claim by Moscow that he was killed during a Russian bombing of an ISIS meeting in Raqqa has been proven false and accounts that he is in hiding south of Raqqa also appear to be very unreliable. US officials believe he is likely hiding in "the thousands of miles of desert between ISIS heartlands Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria."

If he is indeed dead then there is no way he could have been the prophesied end times Sufyani since according to Islamic prophecy the Sufyani is killed by none other than The Mahdi himself ... a figure from the Arabian peninsula who has yet to materialize and to take action. He is not killed by the US or the Russian Federation.

Baghdadi and the IS caliphate began as an almost too-perfect manifestation of the beginning of the Sufyani and his empire. But even then there were problems in interpretation since the Sufyani was supposed to enter Damascus, Syria with 360 "riders" carrying three deadly "staffs" ... and they were supposed to come from the nation of Egypt. Not only that, but he was supposed to take control, not only of Syria, but also all of EGYPT.

As for the pretensions of its other name of ISIL, the IS caliphate should have not only included all of Syria and Egypt, but also nearly all of the rest of the Levant (Lebanon, Cyprus, Israel, Palestine, and a part of Turkey). Instead al-Baghdadi emerged as the heir of the late Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's Islamic State of Iraq, created as a result of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and subsequent occupation. Following the start of Arab Spring and the initial unrest in Syria, Islamic State in Iraq attracted anti-Assad forces from Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and other countries, including regions as far away as Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Islamic State was then created in parts of Syria and northern and western Iraq.

ISIS has also been found active in the Egyptian Sinai since November 2014, but no individual ever came out of the land of Egypt with 360 men to create a caliphate that stretched from Syria in the north to Egypt in the south. And yes, there are Islamic prophecies stating he would take the entire Levant: Egypt, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Syria, and a part of Turkey (Hatay Province). Even that he would conquer Jerusalem. Not even close has the career of al-Baghdadi and his caliphate been.

Now as the IS caliphate crumbles in Raqqa and Mosul the likelihood of an ISIS takeover of Baghdad, at the cost of 100,000 lives, not only appears laughable but so also does the greater prophecy of a Sufyani war with Iran and Afghanistan, destructive attacks in Saudi Arabia and Jordan, and a lingering war in "the Byzantine Empire" (of which Turkey is a major part). Indeed, it is the war in "the Byzantine Empire" that marks the beginning of the Sufyani's end ... a war that is concluded when the Mahdi captures the Sufyani in Syria and executes him beneath a tree in Saudi Arabia. Despite some periodic turmoil in Turkey from the Kurds and from the IS, and a few brief cross border campaigns from Turkey, this final war of the Sufyani, the war in "the Byzantine Empire," has yet to happen.

I would say this much: the war that has played out since 2014 involving ISIS in Syria and Iraq, and also the Syrian Civil War of Bashar al-Assad ongoing since 2011 (actually probably 2012 is more like it), both of which have been enjoined by Russia, Iran, Turkey, and the United States ... this works well as an archetypical conflict that may prefigure a future leader who will actually fulfill the role of the Sufyani. A kind of more than slightly off version of actual prophecy. And who knows? Perhaps ISIS will rebound and do all the things that have not been fulfilled in Islamic prophecy. But I doubt it. The prophecy is fairly clear that al-Baghdadi, if he had been the Sufyani, should have taken control of Syria and Egypt together early on ... like back in 2014. It would indeed be prophecy "out of sequence" if he ever managed to do that in the future after losing so much of Syria and Iraq.

Clearly the end of times as predicted by Islamic prophecy have a long a way to go before they arrive ... likewise with the Christian New Testament "Battle of Armageddon." We should be keeping our eyes instead on the Judaic Old Testament and the Book of Daniel for the time of a great war begun by Persia (Iran and southern Iraq) appears much more imminent with Iranian forces at war with ISIS in Syria and preparing for possible war with Saudi Arabia as the two theocratic regimes battle it out in a lingering proxy war in Yemen.

And besides ... there will be some really big signs in the heavens. And one of these signs I am about to discuss will not happen until 2021, 2022 or even 2023.

Garabandal and the Red Nova

Earlier (below) I wrote about the Garabandal prophecy regarding The Warning. The idea long held by me was a variation of the "double impact" scenario based on the sci-fi thriller "Deep Impact" (1997) when a comet discovered a year earlier and kept top secret after the discoverer was killed in a road accident was finally revealed to the public. A plan to demolish the comet by astronauts in space fails, and instead two comet fragments are created, both on a collision course with Earth. The Garabandal variation would not only have two comets or comet fragments headed towards our planet, but also towards each other, crashing in space before hitting the earth, sparing the inhabitants at the last terrifying moment.

The one problem with the scenario is that Conchita Gonzales said the event would be "like twostars crashing .. two stars that crash and make a lot of noise." Although comets have often been called "hairy stars" and "bearded stars" in Nostradamus prophecy, they are not stars properly speaking.

So how do two stars crash?

Sometime between September 2021 and September 2022 all of us who are living will find that out. At that time, say astronomers, two binary stars in the constellation Cygnus the Swan (the binary star system is known as KIC 9832227), two stars that revolve around each other, will crash together forming what is known as a "red nova." The result will be the creation of a new star, possibly as bright as magnitude 2 or greater, that will grow increasingly brighter in the heavens over the next six months. It may become one of the brightest objects in the night sky, rivalling Jupiter and Venus in magnitude, or maybe become the most luminous object in the heavens, outshined only by the moon and sun. It is expected thatit will be seen in daylight for a few weeks when it reaches its peak brightness. It will not look like a normal star either as it will be surrounded by a halo of debris from the impact of two high energy stars.

The color of the star of course will be red (thus the reason for calling it a red nova). Astronomers have only seen one other red nova star, V1309 Scorpii, in 2008 ... but that one lasted only a few hours and most people on earth never saw it. Interestingly enough, I predicted a nova or supernova would occur in 2008. But it was a sight you would have had to catch at the right time, looking at the right place.

If Conchita can be believed, somehow we will hear and feel the crash of the two stars occur. She emphasises that no one will be harmed by the collision which of course would be correct about the creation of a nova many light years away.

If that is not enough for the year 2022, in October of that year NASA will launch a spacecraft that will collide with a double asteroid system at 3.7 miles per second ... crashing into either Didymos A or Didymos B which will be very close to Earth at the time. Is it possible the double asteroid, which will be nudged out of its orbit by the collision, end up being "nudged" towards an impact on our planet?

It appears that one way or another, 2022 will be a year of prophetic importance in the heavens.

For what it's worth, this event was predicted on my main website on the following page: http://www.newprophecy.net/2017part3.htm. It has occurred five months earlier than projected. My comments are going to be less like an article on some of my posts and more like .. well ... more like BLOG entries.

Trump struck Assad hard with cruise missiles in retaliation for the sarin nerve gas attack on civilians the other day. I predicted both events, and have shown that on my main site. Despite that, I'm only getting between 200 and 300 views a day. I guess my site just doesn't exist anymore, thanks to Google and the negative SEO campaign my enemies have been waging.

Trump had to do it, I think .. Obama had the chance in 2013 during that sarin nerve gas attack and faltered. The US can't keep getting cold feet over what Russia thinks and says and does ... right is right. Putin blasted Trump today for the strike on Syria and said the US-Russian relationship was now adversarial. Guess that means he'll start a war with the US in the Middle East and in Eastern Europe. This summer will be it I think, if not next spring. I also predicted a Second Korean War for this year, a nuclear one, and that looks likely as well.

God's war on Mankind has begun it would appear, and if it has, it will all bottom out with the sixth seal of Revelation and the three days of darkness. Billions will die in three hours on the third night. Planet Nine (Planet X) may be arriving this year, even though I calculated March or May 2018 for the "three days of darkness." The Pope will die in Fatima this year, murdered by terrorists, I now think. Putin may start making moves in Eastern Europe in June and full swing by August. Israel should get involved in the attacks on Syria as well, probably destroy Damascus. I was off seven years, originally predicting WW3 for 2009 and 2010. Now every horror I said would happen then may happen NOW.

Again, there is time to back away from the abyss ... but the time is short. Personally, I think this event was what Putin was hoping for. Now he can go on the warpath in Europe.

When I speak of "historical precedents" occurring in the past that can be repeated at intervals of seven years or multiples of seven years (the "base 7 phenomenon"), they are not only events (earthquakes, wars, incursions, ceasefires, comets, asteroids, novae, floods, acts of terrorism, etc.), but are also people. When a human being sets a precedent regarding their own personae that can be repeated again (and maybe again and again) in the future, particularly a figure found in Prophecy, that person is said to be an archetype or prototype.

The two most important definitions of "archetype" for our purposes are to be found in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archetype): "1.a statement, pattern of behavior, or prototype (model) which other statements, patterns of behavior, and objects copy or emulate. (Frequently used informal synonyms for this usage include "standard example", "basic example", and the longer form "archetypal example"). 4.a constantly recurring symbol or motif in literature, painting, or mythology (this usage of the term draws from both comparative anthropology and from Jungian archetypal theory). In various seemingly unrelated cases in classic storytelling, media, etc., characters or ideas sharing similar traits recur."

The characters or figures recur again and again, in other words ... or possibly only once again.

Nostradamus was especially interested in archetypes that would prefigure the arrival of the beast of Revelation 13. He called these archetypes "antichrists": a series of male leaders, including their associated empires, regimes, and revolutions, who would more and more as time went by resemble the final fulfillment of Biblical prophecy known as the beast and his empire, and who Nostradamus called "Antichrist, the Infernal Prince" at the end of his prose prophecy found in the Epistle to Henry II.

Shortly after Princess Diana died on August 31, 1997 (still in the late PM hours of August 30 in the United States), a strange idea began to emerge on and off the internet ... which I would not have access to until 1999. That idea was, since we were supposedly living in the "end times," that she was the "woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet" who appears in Revelation 12. It was an idea even I would buy into for a time. It was rumored she was pregnant at the time, and the belief was that she had been murdered in a staged but fatal "accident" under the Pont de l'Alma by the Illuminati (an unfamiliar name I would be hearing more and more about as time went by). The "moon under her feet" supposedly related to her name, Diana, the moon goddess. The baby she was carrying, a male, was brought up to Heaven along with Diana because according to Revelation 12 the woman "brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne." During the time of the Merovingian kings, disputes were settled in combat at Pont de l'Alma. According to legend, anyone killed there went directly to Heaven and sat at the right hand of God. It was also rumored that Diana was descended directly from the Merovingian bloodline. So, when she was killed under the Pont de l'Alma, it was said that she and her unborn child went directly to Heaven in the same manner as the Merovingian legend and as the child goes in Revelation 12.

The big problem with this is that the woman of Revelation 12 IS NOT KILLED!Instead she flees into the wilderness where there is a place prepared for her and lives there in hiding for 1,260 days (3.45 years ... not quite 3 1/2 years). While she is in hiding a war in heaven is witnessed worldwide between the Devil and his angels and Michael and his angels. At the conclusion, the Devil and his angels are cast down to earth, never again allowed to roam outer space. Once vanquished and earthbound, he sends out his agents after the woman yet again! Once more she escapes for yet another 3 1/2 years. Then he gets really serious and attacks her with a flood, but fails. He continues to war with her and her children (apparently she managed to have other children before the one caught up to Heaven) until the end of time.

That is what is wrong with the "Diana as Woman of Revelation 12 theory." She did not escape for 3 1/2 years and again for another 3 1/2 years and longer. She was fatally wounded on the spot and died a few hours later in the hospital.

So, Princess Diana could not be the woman of Revelation 12. However, in all respects but for one, she can be considered as an archetype for the woman of Revelation 12. Possibly Diana is the ONLY archetype, thus the first prototype, since as far as I know no other historical female personages prior to Diana have ever come close to being the woman of Revelation 12.

Archetypes that recur throughout history can have many similarities, but they will also have some notable differences.

Over eleven years ago, I came to the conclusion that pop icon Madonna was an archetype of the Whore of Babylon, at least the one that appears in Revelation 17. However, whenever it seemed we were on the verge of seeing "end times" prophecy fulfilled, it became clear she might be the actual figure of prophecy.

In our "entertainment level" age, it is hardly surprising that a pop singer/actress named Madonna has played the role of our modern Whore of Babylon since at least 1993, or as early as the 1980s. However, in Revelation 18, the Whore of Babylon has always been treated as the leader of a great nation, a queen of the mightiest and wealthiest nation on the planet. This has always led me to believe that there might be two whores of Babylon. However, something has changed that view and I find that it is possible for one person to fulfill both prophecies, especially a goddess queen.

In any event, regarding the whore of Babylon as a goddess or high priestess, I concluded Madonna was not the very first archetype. The first in recent history, according to Wikipedia, was Sophie Momoro, the wife of the printer Antoine-François Momoro, whom the French Revolutionaries augured and enthroned as the Goddess of Reason at the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris on November 10, 1793. However there are two contradictary claims: 1) an unknown, half-clothed or nude prostitute who was enthroned upon or laid across the famous altar 2) Marie-Therese Davoux (aka Mademoiselle Maillard), a French opera singer and dancer, also elevated on a throne above the altar.

I rather suspect it was the nameless prostitute they "worshipped" and likely engaged in "sacred sex" with as an ultimate stab at Christianity and the Church during what was the dechristianisation of France. Until Robespierre attempted to institute an official state religion with his Festival of the Supreme Being in June 1794, there were numerous Goddesses of Reason throughout France dressed (or partially unclothed) in ancient Roman garb, many of them prostitutes. The atrocities, tortures, rapes, and beheadings committed throughout France during this Cult of Reason ... the same bloodlust attributed to the Whore of Babylon in Revelation 17 ... can be matched only by the barbaric acts of horror committed by ISIS in the Middle East and (already) in parts of Europe, again most notably in France. See EXCLUSIVE: France ‘Suppressed Reports of Gruesome Torture’ at Bataclan Massacre.

The original "whore of Babylon" goes back to ancient Babylon and Queen Semiramis, consort of King Ninus (Nimrod). Ninus claimed to be the son of the god Bel (Ba'al). Semiramis claimed to be the human representative of the goddess Ishtar (whose Egyptian goddess predecessor was ISIS). Much sacred sex occurred between her holy prostitutes and the males during religious rites, and much bloodletting at festivals, including the tearing apart of animals while still alive (and then eaten) and the castration of young men and boys. Semiramis reigned for 42 years and led the armies of Babylon into warfare where much blood was shed.

Thus, Semiramis was regarded as a head-of-state (queen) and as a goddess.

Semiramis had a number of young women serve as priestesses and has sacred prostitutes. They were accorded all the same honors and worship as the queen, engaging in ritual sex and orgies with males and females alike.

It is not surprising that, like the priestesses of Semiramis, or the various women who played the role of the Goddess of Reason in 1793-94 in France, there are other modern "whores" of Babylon, such as Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and so many others. Much of the occult and of sexual debauchery has been associated with these and never more so than with Madonna, former high priestess of the Hollywood branch of Kabbalah, sorceress and master practitioner (witch) of black magic, and self-appointed, Illuminati-appointed goddess augered during the 2012 Superbowl halftime show ... a failed effort at making Madonna a god.

No, neither Madonna or any of the aforementioned Hollywood harlots have, as best as we can determine, dyed their lips red drinking from a chalice filled with the blood of Christians. Of course, no one knows what secretly goes on behind locked doors (see the films Hostel and Hostel 2). But again, this is the age of "entertainment" where these things can be enacted in fantasy by actresses and, in an odd twist, female pop singers. And we have seen a lot of evil intention "played out" over the last decade or so.

However, in real terms, it would not surprise me in the least if there are female members of ISIS/ISIL who have done exactly that: drink from cups the blood taken from beheaded victims.

In any event, ISIS excluded for now, I have given three examples of how three different archetypes of the Whore of Babylon have had much in common, yet have had notable differences as well.

Semiramis came to a wretched end at the hands of her son, so awful it is not worth mentioning. The architect of the Cult of Reason, and some of the whores he elevated, came to their ultimate endings via the sharp, bloody blade of Madame Guillotine.

What happens to the real Whore of Babylon when she finally arrives on the scene is quite horrific: "And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire." - Rev 17:16.

Pretty close to what happened to Semiramis.

But what will happen to our current archetype: Madonna? Or the other pop harlots who likewise pose as this figure?

Madonna has given some authority the pretext to end her life ... and it may not be the Illuminati. I have warned this day may come, and she may have hastened it:

(CNN) — Ever the provocateur, Madonna dropped a trio of f-bombs and admitted that she's "thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House" during a speech at the Women's March on Washington on Saturday.

"It took this horrific moment of darkness to wake us the f--k up," she told the crowd. "It seems as though we had all slipped into a false sense of comfort, that justice would prevail and that good would win in the end."

"Well, good did not win this election. But good will win in the end," she said.

The pop star later went into a rendition of "Human Nature" with added R-rated lyrics, including a call for Trump to perform an obscene act to himself.

Madonna, who supported Hillary Clinton during the campaign, was one of a number of celebrities on Saturday who spoke out as part of Women's Marches in cities across the world.

But of those high-profile speeches, Madonna's was particularly confrontational. She said that the march represented the beginning of a "revolution" and affirmed that "we will not back down."

"And to our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything: F--k you. F--k you," she said. "It is the beginning of much-needed change."

Madonna also said she was "angry" and "outraged" in the wake of Trump's inauguration.

"Yes, I'm angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House," Madonna said. "But I know that this won't change anything. We cannot fall into despair."

According to the New York Post’s Page Six, Madonna’s inauguration day statements about “blowing up the White House” have gotten the attention of the Secret Service who are known to take any threatening statement seriously until they can establish intent.

From the Post:One US official told The Post that Madonna’s statement will have be evaluated for its seriousness. “It’s all about intent. Is she intending to do harm to the White House or President Trump? Otherwise it will be characterized as inappropriate,” the official said. “If it’s characterized as inappropriate, then there won’t be any discussions with the U.S. Attorney. If it’s determined that there’s intent on her part, then there will be discussions with the U.S. Attorney and they’ll take it from there.”

Madonna’s comments, delivered at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, were condemned by President Donald Trump’s administration, with White House Chief of Staff Reince Preibus telling “Fox News Sunday”: “One of the singers said she wanted to blow up the White House. I mean, can you imagine saying that about President Obama?”

The danger of being an archetype is that you may in some manner share the awful destiny awaiting the one you are prefiguring.

Robespierre came to a gruesome end, shot in the jaw (losing part of his chin in the process) and then beheaded on the guillotine. Napoleon withered away in exile on St. Helena. Hitler shot himself (or had someone do it for him) and then his body was burned. John F. Kennedy, who was a good man and a good leader but shared the charismatic element found in most antichrists, had part of his head and almost his entire brain blown away by an assassin. As a charismatic archetype, the manner of his death was the very same as that awaiting the true beast of Revelation who will receive a fatal head wound ... yet live. Saddam Hussein was executed by hanging, Gadhafi beaten to a pulp and shot dead, and the true father of ISIS, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was killed when the house in which he was holding a meeting was bombed. His dead body was proudly placed on public display: a warning to the current leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Only a few days ago I received an angry email calling for Madonna's death which I deleted. I should add that the person who wrote it did not make a direct threat on her life ... only wished someone would do it. My point for mentioning it is that Madonna's words and actions are being taken seriously by people who would now wish her dead, perhaps unstable people who might even consider murdering her. This was all in the realm of fantasy before, speculation from Nostradamus prophecies ... but now it's starting to get real.

We need only see what happened to Kim Kardashian to know something much worse can happen to someone else as famous or more famous.

No, she will not likely end like the woman in Revelation 17 ... after all, Madonna is only an archetype. But Nostradamus has prophesied of several women who will be archetypes of the Whore of Babylon. They all come to a bad end. And one of them is likely Madonna.

One is taken to be executed, but how is not said. Another is burned alive in Spain, whether by accident or artifice is uncertain. Yet another is strangled or hanged in her bedroom. Another is conspired against by an artisan (or an artist) and a monk in Italy. One dies in England when it is under attack. That is five different quatrains, but obviously at three different locations. So there will be at least two archetypes of the Whore of Babylon in present and future with a third in future being the actual figure from the Bible. That conceivably makes Madonna one of the two archetypes.

There may be more than five quatrains about this figure and her archetypes; but these five are all that occur to me at the moment. If there are more, then the number of archetypes may be three, four or more.

After all, if Nostradamus is to be believed, the real end times don't arrive until sometime in the mid-2230s ... well over two hundred years from now.

One day the two great masters will become friends,Their great power will be seen to grow:The new land (America) will attain its high power,To the bloody one the number is reported.

Nostradamus, Quatrain 6.21

When those of the arctic pole are united together,In the East great fear and dread:A newly elected one, sustained by a great trembling,Rhodes (Greece), Istanbul (Turkey) with Barbarian blood is stained.

I have been waiting many years for this, but at last several of Nostradamus' most famous quatrains may soon be realized in full.

I am speaking of course about the prophecies concerning a US-Russian Alliance, one that commentators like the late Erika Cheetham proclaimed as fulfilled too prematurely during the final Reagan years, beginning with the signing of the INF Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union in December 1987. I was never really entirely satisfied that the improved relations between the two nuclear powers under Reagan and Gorbachev was what the French seer had in mind in any of his quatrains. A year and a month later George Herbert Walker Bush, Reagan's vice president, was in power. The momentum towards much closer ties went into a "pause" mode for a year. However, they resumed in December 1989, more important treaties were signed, and trade relations and public relations continued to improve.

However, the relationship was notoriously unsuccessful where global affairs were concerned. The USSR condemned an American invasion ofPanama (December 1989-January 1990) in the United Nations and the Second Persian Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm, Jan-Feb 1991) drew the ire of Gorbachev and his top general Dmitri Yazov near the war's conclusion. A few days before the ground war ended, a televised Gorbachev, in an effort to end the United Nations-Iraq conflict, ceased with pleading and warned that America was playing with the fire of a possible third world war. A few days later the US role in the war did indeed end. Meantime, regarding Russian aggressions, the US blasted a violent Russian military crackdown in Baku, Azerbaijan in January 1990, condemning it as a "massacre" (Black January), and then in January 1991 Soviet troops entered Vilnius, Lithuania, which was attempting to assert independence from the USSR, and killed hundreds of civilians (Bloody Sunday, January 13). Although Bush and the United States complained and condemned, and horrific scenes of massacre were shown on television news, most people in the US were not paying much attention as the countdown to Desert Storm was the main concern of the American news media. A few months later war exploded in the Balkans. As an impotent United States and United Nations looked on helplessly, Croats fought Serbs, then Croats and Serbs fought Bosnians and each other. The Soviet Union supplied their Serb allies with all the weapons they required. By the end of 1991, the Soviet Union was no more and Gorbachev retired.

Enter the Russian Federation and Boris Yeltsin. What followed throughout the 1990s was war in the Caucasus and the Balkans .. and a shaky, unpredictable relationship, at times warm, often cold, between President Yeltsin and the new US president, Bill Clinton. By 1994 the US news media labeled the US-Russian relationship as a "Cold Peace."

This is the background against which we can view each of Nostradamus' prophecies and conclude that they were never truly fulfilled, despite the proclamations of Erika Cheetham and her adherents.

However, with the election of Donald Trump, and Trump's desire for close and friendly relations between Russia and the United States ... indeed an alliance involving mutual military cooperation ... at last the prophet's good news has a chance of happening.

Nostradamus, Quatrain 6.21

When those of the arctic pole are united together,In the East great fear and dread:A newly elected one, sustained by a great trembling,Rhodes (Greece), Istanbul (Turkey) with Barbarian blood is stained.

Woe, woe to all those who ally themselves with Islamic extremists like ISIS and Al Qaeda!!! Russia and the United States will raze you to the ground like stubble. Yes, you will spread your evil to Turkey and even to Greece for it is written in Islamic prophecy that the Sufyani's war will reach the Byzantine Empire. But it is also written that that the Sufyani and all his followers will be utterly destroyed! The end of Al-Baghdadi and many other forms of Islamic terror will come by no later than 2018.

Nostradamus, Quatrain 2.89

One day the two great masters will become friends,Their great power will be seen to grow:The new land (America) will attain its high power,To the bloody one the number is reported.

Nostradamus, Quatrain 6.33

His last hand through the bloody Alus,Protection by sea will not be guaranteed:Between two Rivers, dreading the military hand,The angry king will make him repent.

Nostradamus derived the term “the new land” from “the New World”: America. In this instance, specifically the United States. The "bloody one" is none other than the "bloody Alus" (Alus sanguinaire). This may be President Bashar al-Assad, also not long for this world. At the very least Assad will go the way of Slobodan Milosevic, but possibly not until April 2022. However, if the "bloody one" is Al-Baghdadi and ISIS (al-IS), his end will come much sooner .. in 2018. It will happen in northern Mesopotamia ("between two Rivers") at the hands of an angry leader (Putin? Trump? Or the one yet to come known as The Mahdi?).

Nostradamus, Quatrain 4.95

The reign left to two, very shortly they will hold,Three years and seven months having passed they will go to war.The two vassals against them will rebel,The victor then born in Armorique territory.

Unfortunately there is the bad news side of the US-Russia alliance predictions, and that deals with its end. This quatrain concerns events during the final three years and seven months of the thirteen-year alliance. If the alliance indeed begins sometime in January 2017, then this is the period January 2027 to August 2030. It may be a bit later, depending on when the alliance officially begins.

By this time Russia and the United States will be given joint control of world events and a joint policing of the globe, possibly by the United Nations. Two smaller countries will stir up rebellion, possibly one of them in the Balkans or elsewhere in Eastern Europe and the other most likely Iran. It will lead to a global war and the "victor" of the worldwide conflagration will not come from either Russia or the U.S. but from northwestern France, also known as Britanny. This may be the figure Nostradamus names as Chyren and Chiren selin.

Nostradamus, Quatrain 5.78

The two united will not hold for long,And within 13 years are overcome by the Barbarian Satrap:On both sides there will be such perdition,That one will bless the Barque [of St. Peter] and its leader [the pope].

The end of the U.S.-Russian relationship which occurs in 2030 is mentioned again in the first two lines. During the ensuing years both sides have become increasingly oppressed and overwhelmed by the military and terrorist might of the Moslem axis led by "the Barbarian Satrap": the leader of Iran (satrap is the Persian word for leader, thus the leader can be nothing other than an Iranian). Russia has been surrounded and besieged by Islamic extremists and infiltrated by its own indigenous Muslim populations. The United States has experienced selective targeting of several of its major cities by Iranian ICBMs. Both countries have experienced a heavy loss to their armed forces and intra-national conflict. Iran has declared war on the European Union and both Russia and the U.S. It is one of the "two vassal countries" in Q4.95 that rebel. Now world war begins.

Unfortunately, Line 3 promises massive nuclear strikes against Russia and the United States ... either at the behest of the Iranian leader or else the two nuclear allies will become adversaries and engage in total thermonuclear war. Line 4 indicates that one of the two countries, Russia, will not be completely destroyed, since its leader will afterwards "bless" the pope and embrace the Christian faith completely. But America will be utterly destroyed.

Thus, this is a problem that must be tackled and changed. There are 13 good years to find a solution, if Nostradamus can be believed.

One solution may be found in the Epistle to Henry II where there is an alliance between not only Russia and the United States, but also a third Northern nation ... the third one being Great Britain! Britain and the U.S. eventually merge into one federation and then the alliance is reduced to two: Anglo-America and Russia.

This year has been a very confusing one, one of the most confusing I have seen in quite a while. Just when you think you know what the situation is, what the trend is, like mercury things roll another way and your thoughts and ideas are rendered irrelevent in hours or days. Quite a waste of time writing under such circumstances which is why there has not been much in the way of updates on here since June. Yet, there's the other side of the coin: just when your words and ideas seem irrelevent, then something happens that calls your words back into scrutiny and serious evaluation. one example is my prediction "Israel Launches Attacks Against Both Syria's Assad and the Islamic State" on http://www.newprophecy.net/2016part2.htm. It was projected to happen in June 2016, but signs suggest it may be happening now instead:

If the situation explodes into total war, then my views below will be rendered irrelevant because World War III will indeed begin as projected for this year.

This is why I think it best to make this blog more like a diary or log of observations rather than a collection of large articles!

I may also have to start expanding this blog into becoming a website and introduce predictions pages. Some of the pages on the main site are difficult for some browsers to load.

In any event, to continue with the blog post I was to make several days ago:

There is no doubt (in my mind, at least) that the Syrian Civil War was to the Middle East what the Bosnian Conflict was to the Balkans. Bashar al-Assad is now the Slobodan Milosevic of the Arab world. Because I could see the parallel a long time ago, I placed the caveat prediction on my website at 2016 (Part Two) that if a ceasefire was arrived at through use of overwhelming military force by the US, Russia, and some NATO members, that a Third World War by August or September of 2016 would be prevented. Never mind that the first ceasefire begun on February 26, 2016, was a half-assed one with numerous violations, it brought about a period of reevaluation by the major players (the US now full steam ahead towards November presidential elections) and a reshuffling of the deck with ISIS, new anti-rebel groups suddenly coming on the scene we never heard of, the Kurds, and Turkey setting up a new chess board. Now another, hopefully "successful" ceasefire has been announced to begin Monday, September 12, 2016.

Thus far, the similarity between Bosnia and Syria has been inexact due to the numerous violations of the ceasefire agreed in February 2016. The ceasefire in Bosnia, once established, held, although restive populations in nearby Kosovo were not happy with the situation in Yugoslavia. Milosevic remained in power, much to the anger of many Serbs, and Montenegro, Kosovo, and Macedonia still sought independence. The lull of peace that followed the Bosnian ceasefire of 1995 ended with the flash of bombs and gunfire in February 1998 when Kosovo erupted in civil war. By March 1999, NATO was carrying out the most catastrophic air campaigns in modern European cities since the bombing of Dresden in World War II.

There has been very little in the way of a real peace since the February Syrian ceasefire was declared. It is too early to tell if the one begun yesterday Monday will hold either. Turkish troops, jets, and tanks have renewed the conflict in Syria by all appearances. Yet it could end up being a lower level of fighting compared to the large scale Russian and US air bombing that prompted the ceasefire. Whatever happens there, I doubt any real peace will ensue like what did take place in Bosnia. But whether this proposed ceasefire holds or not, these warring groups, with roots not only in Turkey but also in Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, may well be the future wave to come. The conflicts now occurring may be a preview of the Syrian version of the Kosovo War of 1998-99. From a base 7 perspective, that would fall squarely in 2019 and 2020. But because this is the Middle East, as with the Persian Gulf War of 1990-91, the provocation could come as early as August 2018 ... 28 (4 x 7) years after Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990. In that case the whole "Kosovo in the Middle East" parallel gets rolled back to 2018-19 rather than 2019-20, with 2019 being a truly horrendous conflict that likely proceeds to World War III. That certainly will be the case if it all goes to pieces in October 2018, on the base 7 anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.
